Please help: filed DCMA report and now cam name is linked to real name

[Anon4Privacy]

Hey everyone,

I made a dummy account for this post to prevent readers from searching for my cam name on Google. So I filed a few DCMA reports via Google, to get cam caps taken down, using my personal account and real name. I thought this was mandatory, but in retrospect it was incredibly foolish. Now when you search for my cam name on Google, there are links to records of the DCMA complaints that have been submitted, with my real name publicly listed. Is there any way to take these complaints down and re-submit them with a separate Google account? Please help me figure out the best course of action for this situation, as I am obviously concerned that people searching for my cam name will now have a way to figure out my identity.Thank you in advance for your advice!

Unfortunately there isn't really anything you can do here. It is why it is important to use a representative to file DMCA requests on your behalf if you wish to maintain privacy. A DMCA claim is a legal process. Most reputable sites will warn you during the DMCA process that any complaint filed will be publicly available and also may well be sent directly to the person who you make the complaint against as they have the right to challenge your claim.

For example, from pornhubs page on DMCA:

"The copyright owner’s name will be published on Pornhub in place of disabled content. This will become part of the public record of your DMCA Notice, along with your description of the work(s) allegedly infringed. All the information provided in a DMCA Notice, the actual DMCA Notice (including your personal information), or both may be forwarded to the uploader of the allegedly infringing content. By submitting a DMCA Notice, you consent to having your information revealed in this way."

As a side note, it should go without saying not to bother sending DMCA requests to all the disreputable sites around the world that host recordings. They may very well have a DMCA link but they will never honor it and are just phishing to get your personal information.
